You can connect these "dots" any way you want. In my opinion, it doesn't look good EITHER WAY! You know Obama must have approved this image to be on Newsweek. I'm not sure what he wants us to gleen from this image of him but portraying himself as SHIVA, THE DESTROYER can't be a positive message!

Quoting: ^Watcher^

Just can't be good! Don't know how yet but it can't be. Just look at that pose, would ya'?

Or maybe it's because he has a connection to Indonesia? So, first you hate him because he's Muslim, then you hate him because he's a socialist, then you hate him because he's a "messiah" or people "think" he is. Now what? You hate him because he's Buddhist? Shintoist? Taoist? Shiva, god of destruction. Shakti, god of life. Or was that Shaq, guard of the Heat? Ah, never mind. But you know Yahweh also says "I kill, and I make alive. I destroy and I raise up." 1 Samuel 2:6. Every God or god has that dual power. But...this is Obama on the cover in Shiva pose, and he's well not the anti-christ (wrong religion) so he must be?--I know! Nibiru the Planet Destroyer incarnate! Take that! you evil god impersonator!

Why don't you just say what you really feel? You hate Obama because he's a black man who won the presidency. He's the most powerful man right now on Earth and he's black and it just doesn't click for you. Cuz in Lil Abnerville, that just don't happen, holy by god!

But now comes a new claim that Obama is in effect a Hindu. The evidence for this seems to be that he carries about in his pocket “a tiny monkey god”, as well as “a tiny Madonna and child”. This is reported by Time Magazine, with photographic evidence. According to Visi Tilak of the Christian blog Casting Stones (which lists Tony Campolo and Brian McLaren among its contributors), this monkey god is “none other than the Hindu god Hanuman”, and indeed Visi reports that “over the last couple of days every Indian newspaper has carried this story and photograph, with “Hanuman” and “Obama” on practically every headline.” The BBC reports that a group of Indians are planning to present to Obama a “two-foot tall, 15kg gold-polished, brass idol” of Hanuman.

It might be suggested that by carrying both Christian and Hindu lucky charms Obama is trying to be both Hindu and Christian (go here to see a photograph of obama's good luck charms including Hanuman, the mHindu monkey god, [link to www.stevequayle.com] page 5).

But polytheistic Hinduism has long accepted that Christian images can be used alongside originally Hindu ones, and I think that carrying lucky charms is accepted. Orthodox Christianity, on the other hand, has always condemned any kind of devotion to idols of non-Christian divinities, and has not approved of lucky charms. So by carrying this Hindu idol in his pocket, as well as a Christian one, Obama is showing himself to be either a good Hindu or a very bad Christian.

Now, also consider the following pieces of information (in light of the fact that Obama is, in the coming week, being depicted as a Hindu deity on the cover of Newsweek):

(From a second information source) A favorite of Mr. Obama is the four-armed monkey charm, the Indonesian variation of the Hindu god, HANUMAN (Hanuman, the devoted servant of Lord Rama).

Heavily influenced by Indonesian culture, in 1972 contemporary author Arthur C. Clarke published Rendevous with Rama, a futuristic novel which named its alien starship, RAMA, designed to track near-earth objects following an asteroid collision in Italy on September 11, 2077. An earlier fascination with the Indonesia and a fictional volcano Krakan and the “child of Krakan” is reflected in another composition, Songs of a Distant Earth.

In August, 2008, The Chicago Tribune reported that Indian politician, Brij Mohan Bhama presented then Senator Obama with a two foot high gold plated statue of the god Hanuman, which had been blessed by a dozen Hindu priests during a special prayer service, for 11 days before being sent to Mr. Obama.

According to Mr. Bhama, [Senator] Obama has deep faith in Lord Hanuman and that is why we are presenting an idol of Hanuman to him.

Isn't it interesting and quite coincidental (Not!) that the world's most violent volcano, son of Krakatau on the island of Java in Indonesia, the nation where Obama spent two years of his youth and this particular volcano just erupted just in time for Obama's trip to India and Indonesia.

According to a journalist who accompanied Obama on the campaign trail:

Obama thinks he is the god, Hanuman (that's why he carries the Hanuman talisman with the monkey on it in his pocket).

Furthermore, Obama went to Indonesia because the spirit of Hanuman was being released by the Krakatau volcano and it is meant to indwell in him.

The statue of Obama (as a boy) that is in Jakarta , Indonesia was originally built because Indonesians think Obama will possess the spirit of this god, Hanuman.

Well, here's what we know:

Obama went to India.

The son of Krakatau volcano erupted.

Obama visited the tomb of Hanuman in India.

Obama was detained in India because of the violence and massiveness of the son of Krakatau eruption.

Obama visited Jakarta, Indonesia, his boyhood home, for the first time in more than 40 years, while the son of Krakatau volcano was still erupting.

On Nov. 9, 2010, Obama visited the Shrine of the Monkey God (Hanuman) in Indonesia.

A giant statue of Hanuman was unveiled by Himachal Pradesh Chief Minister Prem Kumar Dhumal and actor Abhishek Bachchan in anticipation of Obama's arrival on Nov. 4, 2010. The giant Hanuman statue is 108-foot tall and stands at an 8500 foot elevation at the famous Jakhu temple in the Jakhu Hills hih above Jakarta.

So have I now become your enemy for telling you the TRUTH? Galatians 4:16************************************“Gravity explains the motions of the planets, but it cannot explain who sets the planets in motion.” ~Isaac Newton************************************We are called to be BOLD. ~Joshua 1:9~************************************You call me paranoid. I call you uninformed.

Nataraja or Nataraj ([n&#592;t&#592;&#712;r&#593;d&#658;&#592;], The Lord (or King) of Dance; Tamil: &#2965;&#3010;&#2980;&#3021;&#2980;&#2985;&#3021; (Kooththan)) is a depiction of the Hindu god Shiva as the cosmic dancer who performs his divine dance to destroy a weary universe and make preparations for god Brahma to start the process of creation. Nataraja is most often depicted through a statue. The dance of Shiva in Tillai, the traditional name for Chidambaram, forms the motif for all the depictions of Shiva as Nataraja. He is also known as "Sabesan" which splits as "Sabayil aadum eesan" in Tamil which means "The Lord who dances on the dais".The form is present in most Shiva temples in South India, and is the main deity in the famous temple at Chidambaram.[1]

The sculpture is usually made in bronze, with Shiva dancing in an aureole of flames, lifting his left leg (and in rare cases, the right leg) and balancing over a demon or dwarf (Apasmara) who symbolizes ignorance. It is a well known sculptural symbol in India and popularly used as a symbol of Indian culture.[2]

The two most common forms of Shiva's dance are the Lasya (the gentle form of dance), associated with the creation of the world, and the Tandava (the violent and dangerous dance), associated with the destruction of weary worldviews - weary perspectives & lifestyles. In essence, the Lasya and the Tandava are just two aspects of Shiva's nature; for he destroys in order to create, tearing down to build again[3].

The Hindu texts called Puranas tell the story of various Avatars of Vishnu, including his last avatar Buddha. The texts also prophesize of a future Avatar of Vishnu called Kalki who will appear at the end of the present age called the Age of Koli (untruth) or Koli Yug.

Hindus believe that time revolves in a cyclical manner beginning with Satya Yug or the Age of Truth. Then comes Treta Yug, Dwapar Yug and finally Koli Yug.

After that comes annihilation and re-initiation of the Satya Yug or Kritya Yug - the age of purity.

Thus, the Hindus do not believe in the End of the World but in the cyclical nature of Time.

The perspective of the Hindu religion is, thus, much wider than the Semitic religions and it automatically implies the fact that there were other human civilizations before the great flood, which is also mentioned in the Hindu texts.
